It started out as a transom replacement but then I figured might as well fix everything now. I replaced the transom with 1.5" coosa bluewater 26. The deck was pretty solid, when I cut the skin off in a couple of places to check the wood I found the previous owner had replaced the plywood with foam board. I also replaced a section of the core at the bow and front deck with coosa. Bought a new and smaller 53 gallon fuel tank. Tank will now be installed on 6 solid 1/2" thick fiberglass slats and as far forward as possible. Cut out the deck well for bilge access and storage. Raised the transom up to 26.5". All work was done with us composites epoxy.
